Looks great! I don't like the dusting either. I will try the mineral oil. Baby oil is ok also?

Just my 2c for whatever it's worth, I think misting with water as in the Kevin Brown Method works better. If you're doing a lot of correction, you need to either use a lot of pads or wash them frequently in a pad washer to remove the used compound and clearcoat/paint on your pad. I do the latter in a Grit Guard Pad Washer. The M105 is water soluble and cleans easily allowing you to wash the pad and keep moving. When you add mineral oil, that is not going to wash off easily requiring that you change pads frequently.

That EZup looks great. I'm going to see where I can get one.

It's cold over here- snowed in Auckland the other day which is extemely rare seeing as we're not in the part that normally snows.

Alvins car is an absoute beast, the retune put it at 540hp and a butt load of torque, but he is now planning on having it supercharged as well. It already breaks traction at 5000rpm in both first and second gear, even with super sticky Potenza RE050's on there. He's ordered some new 20" rims for it and they're also a bit wider (255 I think) so that should help.

I have a few videos on my computer somewhere of it, if I can find them I'll email them to you.

Your Grand Am turned out great! It seems that there wasn't much orange peel in the paint.
